• Cells are the basic
building blocks of living
things.
CELL
• Cells provide structure
for the body, take in
nutrients from food and
carry out important
functions.
• Our cells contain a
number of functional
structures called
organelles.
• The cell was first discovered and
named by Robert Hooke in 1665.
• He remarked that it looked strangely
similar to small rooms which monks
inhabited, thus deriving the name.
CELL • What Hooke actually saw was the
dead cell walls of plant cells (cork)
HISTORY under the microscope.
• The first man to witness a live cell
under a microscope was Anton van
Leeuwenhoek in 1674. Some
believed that what he saw was a
bacteria which he got from a pond
water.

EUKA RYO TI C
• Prokaryotes are the
organisms with prokaryotic
PROKARYOTIC cells.
• Prokaryotes are mostly
UNICELLULAR organisms,
meaning they only have one
type of cell.
• Are organisms without a cell
nucleus or any other
membrane-bound organelles.
• Eukaryotes are organisms
with eukaryotic cells.
• Eukaryotic organisms may be
multicellular or single-celled
organisms. All animals are EUKARYOTIC
eukaryotes.
• Eukaryotes are organisms
made up of cells that
possess a membrane-bound
nucleus as well as
membrane-bound organelles.
